Today we had a great day in the office. Why? We burned hundreds of pounds of fat. The best part of this is that we got to see a bunch of very happy faces.
In fact, patients who didn't lose exactly as much weight as they wanted, ultimately found out based on body composition testing, that they were burning fat and putting on lean muscle mass!
If you are not getting body composition testing, you are missing out. Often I find when people are trying over the counter weight loss programs, they get disappointed when they don't lose weight as fast as they would like. Well, it turns out, they may actually be doing much much better than what their weight shows.
Body composition is a much needed testing point for weight loss. It is important to do this for 3 reasons!
1. I want to see how well we are burning fat. If we level off, I want to ramp it up.
2. I want to make certain we do not miss a loss of lean body mass. We will increase protein then.
3. When patients don't lose so much weight, they could be actually be losing quite a bit of fat!
So, the teaching point is simple. If you are in a weight loss program, you should be getting body composition testing at least monthly.
